Stress Reduction

Life is stressful.

Do you hold your stress in your upper back, your hips or your jaw? Does it affect your digestion, concentration or sleep? Are people irritating you? Or, do you just feel “off.” Something is not quite right. There may not be anything medically wrong. Your lab numbers may be “in the normal range.” But you know your body and know when it needs some type of shift. 

You need acupuncture.

It’s quite common to feel deep relaxation during a treatment. Acupuncture works to calm your nervous system through the release of beta-endorphins and various other mood enhancing chemicals. It is known to reduce cortisol levels (our primary stress hormone) and to elevate serotonin levels, the chemical that boosts your mood, improves digestion, sleep and cognitive function.

Acupuncture is a great modality for getting you back to feeling like yourself again.
